I'm not much of technologist lakini I'm confused.
I can’t claim that the Apollo 17 mission in 1972 was fake, since I have no proof and that would just be an emotional argument. However, I’m curious: if humans were able to land on the Moon with the technology available in the 1970s, why is Artemis II only planned to orbit the Moon instead of landing—despite the significant budget and advanced resources involved? If Artemis II is just a test mission, and Artemis III is intended for landing, what exactly is being tested now that was already achieved decades ago?
